i'm not slow
i'm not dumb
i'm not broken.
each day i grow
i understand
i pray.
understanding is difficult
hearing is impossible
speaking is invisible.
I learn to speak
I learn to listen
I learn to hear.
no matter how many times
I repeat.
the tears in my eyes
the shake within my body
i cry.
to understand one
you have to know
another.
i'm not slow
i'm not dumb
i'm not broken.
though i'm human


















Very well stated my friend.
